Those that have been down and those that are going to go down....
My son got his scars tonight and joined the club. Coming back from the store (less than a 1/4 mile away) he goes to turn back into our subdivision and a car turns left out of the subdivison going the wrong way (head-on) towards him.
He dives right and locks it up in the grass and of course goes down.
Car takes off and keeps on going....
He escapes with a little bit of rash and scrapes on his helmet. Made him go to the hospital just in case.
Here's for the part that irritated me:
Called the local PD - They said call county, called the Sheriffs Dept, they didn't get here till 30 minutes AFTER I called the PD, and THEN tells me it's a traffic incident and I should of called the Highway Patrol.....
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told them all thank God this wasn't a life or death situation and I would of needed to pull out my Glock or Mossberg...
It's been over 2 hours now and the FHP STILL HASN'T SHOWN UP AT OUR HOUSE!
My son is at the hospital getting checked out and had to ride his bike home to tell us what happened.
WE DON'T LIVE IN BFE....
Just another notch towards my belief that since LE can't be everywhere it's up to the individual to take care of their own in times of need....
Bike is in the garage now, definitely needs:
Stator Cover (big-hole)
L-side foot peg
L-side mirror
L-side lower fairing]
Passenger seat recovered
L-side exhaust can (have an extra in attic)
New tail (it's all scratched up...) Undertail still good.
Like I said, he's at the ER now and appears to just have a little bit of road rash. Visor flew off the helmet on impact but the helmet did it's job!
FHP just showed up (01:13), took a report but as you can imagine there are a few thousand 4-dr white sedans in FL...
Pics to follow tomorrow!
P.S. Need the above parts - PM if you got them for sale! ASAP. This is his only transportation...
